The dew shall weep thy fall tonight;
For thou must die. (G.Herbert)
In the following lines, S.T.Coleridge suggests the feeling of the menace of sharp, arid heat
partly due to the short vowels:

Rhyme
Is a special kind of regular sound repetition occurring at the end of poetic lines or at other,
symmetrically placed stretches of a poem. Rhyming words are often situated at a regular
distance from each other. Rhyming has a twofold nature. As any sound repetititon, it plays
an important role in sound orchestration. Being regularly repeated, it has marked
rhytmical and compositional qualities. The rhyming words have either identical or similar
sound combinations. Identity of sounds results in full rhymes, comprising the repetition of
the last stressed vowel and the following consonant(s): blushes thrushes, tide-side, gold-
cold, miss-kiss.
